Dear Catherine, this is an amazing recipe! I am putting this one in my files for sure. Love the combination of the ingredients which will make this dish something very special! I see you are using Jamician Curry, I have to get some of that. It must really pop the flavors! Also, the basket is beautiful! So many lovely things inside. I like the crochet doily, did you make that? I crochet with the thin threads, and I like that pattern. Thanks …Blessings…Dottie 🙂
